This year I gave in. I bought candy corn. And I’m not talking about the classic one but bags and bags of caramel apple candy corn, s’mores candy corn, indian corn candy corn, autumn mix candy corn, blackberry cobbler candy corn. Every variety I could find. I went crazy over them. I wanted to see what’s so amazing about this American Halloween candy.

I gotta say – I couldn’t find anything so Ah-mazing. That maybe because I rarely eat candy by itself. For me, candy is an ingredient in one amazing sweet treat!

One of my favorite fall candy is the limited edition of the milky way – caramel apple! With a bag close by and some caramel apple candy corn it was not long until I gather around the rest of the ingredients : pecans, apples, caramel bits and evaporated milk.

I wanted to make a fall version of the magic bars, or 7 layers bars, but with no graham crackers on hand I had to improvise. Good thing Pillsbury refrigerated chocolate chip cookies dough came to the rescue.

I used the cookie dough as my base layer, topped it with the rest of the ingredients and poured evaporated milk over them.

I know the magic bars are made with condensed milk but with all the candy added to the bars I wanted to find a sweet balance and not overpowering them.

These bars are soft from cookie dough and shredded apples, crunchy from the chopped pecans and chewy from the caramel apple candy, melted candy corn and caramel bits. They will be a hit with the little ones and not only.
